I wonder if slow meant "escalator", not "elevator"? I get angry if I'm trying to "overtake" people on the escalator only to find two biddies blabbering away side-by-side, blocking my way. I've considered carrying a car horn with me to encourage them to "yield" to my faster vehicle. "Awoooooooogah!"

This one's not related to snowboarding, but maybe you could get something like this ?

Quote: he looks like mr sparkles Yeah, I noticed that too. Especially around the chin(s)...

Quote: Now these plywood wings I'm fixing to the car we've borrowed from Subaru are utterly revolutionary. If it's a plywood car your looking for, Ocean, you may have missed your chance; this one 's already been sold... (and who says dogs don't talk? Mine does all the time...)

db: I guess when you visit Australia, you follow these rules for proper speech ?

I saw that too, but maybe the mod booted it off since it was blatant advertising? Or maybe you're just mad... Da Culprit

Maybe it will help if they fly a big flag at the top of the spire that shows Allah and Jehovah playing a friendly game of tennis together? Or will that offend someone too?

Who will our children look up to now??? I'm going to go home and tear down my poster of him " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" />

I'm not quite sure Rambo, Alien, Predator AND Danny Devito would all fit in Marty McFly's time machine Delorean though... (now, if you were to substitute Alf for Danny Devito, you might convince me that it's scientifically feasible)

Mr. Matthews: Actually, they're those scary clones that everyone's been fretting about.

Your update is reassuring, sunrise, but it left out some important info: What happened to Ocean's eggs??? Don't leave us hanging like that. " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" />

Can we include sleigh riding in our formative years? That's where the seed was planted.

No party's complete with out some slow-burning fernos and some spontaneous breathing.

db got enough diesel juice in himself the other night where he was lecturing us on "fernos". As usual, I didn't know what he was talking about so I had to do some research. Seems that a "ferno" is a medical supply company in Australia. Is that what he meant??? To bring it back on topic, Ferno sells a nice "Skillmaster Interactive Mannequin" that could be used for the practice of martial arts at your home. This thing is fully tricked out and features the following sounds: Moaning, vomiting and spontaneous breathing

kamo: It's showing live on TBS ("Official IAAF Broadcaster for Japan") and also on BS-i. Tonight's coverage starts from 23:30. Here's the schedule for all of their sports programs (in Japanese). How about that sprinter laying down after he got DQ'd for a flase start in the 100m?

I forgot he has "homodachis" out the wazoo.

db: I can bring a girl, but she's not for the taking. She may be able to bring some other girls. Or dogs. Are you really in a "girl vacuum" right now?!?

Yes, Snow is coming to Japan soon! (groan)

Mista S: Maybe you should join this guy\'s dojo...

There's just so much free learnin' 'n' edukashun out there fer the takin'... GET YER LEARN ON!

Good luck with pyschopharmacology school, barok; I'm sure we'll see you back here soon enough.

Broadband is really taking off here after such meager beginnings a few years ago (especially compared to the headstart that Korea had). YahooBB is even offering a 26MB wireless LAN package now (obviously throughput can vary). And PON (with FTTC/FTTH/FTTB/FTTwhatever)is coming down the road soon, both here and in the US. That'll blow the doors off ADSL if the providers price it right and agree to some industry standards.

Quote: The world is as it should be, with two types of mint: Pepper and Spear. Such closemindedness when there is a veritible potpourri of naturally-occurring mints to choose from in this world. There are over 200 named varieties of mint. One source points to over 600 existing today. Expand your mind and your mint, Mintman db.

I like "Blackmail" too; I also miss the original "The Stinger"(?) that London Hearts did. It was basically the same concept except they tried to trap the girlfriend. A "handsome" guy (The Stinger) would pick up the targetted girlfriend, get her to go for drinks/dinner with him and eventually try to get her to come back to his apartment. The boyfriend and London Hearts would be waiting at the apartment, watching the whole proceedings via secret cam. There was always that moment of dread as the boyfriend waited to see if The Stinger would walk through the apartment door accompanied by the girlfr
